11. Market
prospects

Over the last six years the wholesale price is said to have
remained fairly constant and, if anything, has lowered. In that period the
number of importers has increased from around five to between twenty and thirty
and the volume of fish entering the country, in particular as accompanied
baggage, is thought to have increased dramatically.

The presence of a large Afro-Caribbean population in London
should ensure a ready market for product for the foreseeable future.
